"Teaching effectiveness" is a broad term used to describe an instructor's ability to impact student success. It is usually defined according to several factors, such as how well an instructor organizes a course that contains relevant material, how well he or she knows the course material, how clearly he or she communicates with students, how frequently he or she provides timely feedback, and other such criteria. In classroom situations, effectiveness definitions sometimes include the instructor's enthusiasm or disposition. During fully online and blended learning courses, students often need greater amounts of structure and support to succeed because online course activities usually require students to take greater responsibility for their own learning success. Therefore, many of the criteria mentioned above take on even more importance when evaluating online teaching effectiveness.
